Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 1221 - 1199: The Crown Prince’s Mistress

Ya Chen’s face remained as cold as ever.

Perhaps out of respect for Jiayi, his sister-in-law, and father-in-law, or perhaps because he didn’t want to say more on the matter, he stayed silent for a long while before finally speaking, with a grunt.

Jiayi heaved a sigh of relief.

After a moment of silence, Ya Chen seemed to want to bypass the heavy atmosphere and changed the subject:

"I heard you opened a branch in Nanga City a few months ago."

"Yes. Actually, besides visiting Xinyue, I came with Dad to S Country this time to manage the branch."

"How’s the shop doing?" Ya Chen casually asked.

Jiayi honestly said, "It’s only been open a few months, so business isn’t great. Just trying to minimize losses is good enough. I’m planning on finding some local media for advertising to get the branch’s name out there since consumers now recognize names and brands."

"If you need help, just say the word."

Jiayi’s thoughts stirred, and she said, "I want to find a well-known local celebrity to be our brand ambassador, but I don’t live in S Country and I’m not very familiar with the local entertainment circle. I don’t know which stars are popular in S Country right now. If possible, Ya Chen, could you recommend someone?"

Ya Chen nodded: "Do you have any requirements?"

Jiayi said, "Based on our positioning for wedding dresses, we need a female star, preferably between twenty and twenty-eight years old, with a pure and ladylike appearance. Most importantly, she must be a well-known figure locally, ideally a current idol with a fan base of economically capable white-collar workers. This way, the branch can quickly build influence."

Ya Chen didn’t deliberate long: "That’s not difficult. I’ll have my secretary reach out to local talent agencies with your requirements."

With the Crown Prince’s referral, finding a satisfactory spokesperson should be smooth.

Jiayi appreciatively nodded: "Then I’ll leave it to you. I won’t disturb you any longer, I’m leaving now."

Ya Chen raised his hand and pressed a button on the controller beside him.

A woman in a suit, looking very professional, walked in.

"See Ms. Chu off."

"Yes." The secretary made a guiding gesture and courteously escorted Jiayi out of the Crown Prince’s office.

Ten minutes later, the secretary returned, "Crown Prince, Ms. Chu has been seen to her car."

Ya Chen nodded, handing down the matter he promised Jiayi to the secretary.

The secretary hesitated for a moment, then immediately agreed, "Yes, I’ll contact local talent agencies right away to find a suitable spokesperson for Ms. Chu."

Turning to leave the office, the secretary walked to her desk and picked up the phone.

After hesitating a moment, she dialed a number: "Hello, Ms. Lan?"

A sweet, youthful female voice came from the other end, clearly young: "Yes."

Knowing the call was from the Crown Prince’s secretary, the woman sounded delighted, seemingly moving to find a quieter spot. Her voice became clearer:

"Is there something? Did Ya Chen ask for me?"

The secretary said, "No. Ms. Chu of the Chu Family had just visited the Crown Prince. Ms. Chu opened an F.Wang branch in Nanga, focusing on high-end dresses and wedding wear, and she wants to find a spokesperson. The Crown Prince asked me to contact talent agencies to help find a star for his sister-in-law. I thought you might be interested, so I’m informing you in advance."

On hearing this, the woman quickly responded softly, "Got it, thank you. Oh, right, last time I was in New York for a shoot, I bought quite a bit of jewelry, wore them twice but they don’t really suit me. I’ll have my assistant send them to you tomorrow."

Ms. Lan was indeed generous!

The secretary was delighted, "Thank you, Ms. Lan."

The woman said playfully, "Compared to the care you regularly provide, this is just a small token. In the future, if anything comes up on the Crown Prince’s side, remember to inform me first."

The secretary immediately replied earnestly, "No problem."

The next day.

At the foot of the Royal Office Building’s steps, a bright yellow Lotus sports car screeched to a stop, breaking the solemnity and silence. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

The car door swung open.

Two slender legs stretched out and touched the ground. As they extended upwards, a young woman emerged, wearing sunglasses and a tight-fitting long dress with a cross-back design, showcasing her alluring figure as she ascended the steps.

A guard was about to step forward to stop her when the woman removed her sunglasses, revealing a well-maintained and exquisite face.

The guard was momentarily stunned, retracting his blocking hand and speaking more politely:

"Ms. Lan."

The woman before him was none other than Lan Yurou, currently a hot star in S Country.

It was said that Lan Yurou had been an obscure star a few years ago, not even ranking on the B-list.

Two years ago, upon returning to the country, Ya Chen attended a high-society event and met Lan Yurou, who was there to accompany guests.

For some reason, among the many female stars, Lan Yurou wasn’t the most beautiful, nor was her acting exceptional, but Ya Chen took a particular liking to her and began to support this minor star.

With the support of a significant figure, Lan Yurou’s resources grew, and she slowly rose in status to her current position.

While no one dared to say it outright, there were private speculations that Lan Yurou’s relationship with the Crown Prince wasn’t simple, that she was his mistress.

Some even rumored that Ya Chen purchased a villa for Lan Yurou to live in, complete with several servants and bodyguards to attend to her needs during filming and daily life.

Occasionally, the Crown Prince would visit.

If this wasn’t keeping Lan Yurou as a mistress, then what was it?

Even ordinary people keeping mistresses isn’t an honorable thing, let alone members of the Royal Family.

Given the Royal Family’s reputation, no one dared to speak openly, and local media kept silent.

Over time, the relationship between the Crown Prince and Lan Yurou became an open secret.

"Yes, I have something to discuss with Ya Chen. He should be in, right?" Lan Yurou lightly brushed her hair.

The casual use of "Ya Chen" starkly declared the special nature of her relationship with the man.

The guard said, "The Crown Prince is working at this time and isn’t receiving visitors. Please wait a moment, Ms. Lan, and I’ll notify the Crown Prince."

Lan Yurou’s beautiful eyes shifted slightly, seemingly feeling it was unnecessary, yet remained patient.

Shortly after, the guard put down the phone, "The Crown Prince invites you in, Ms. Lan."

Confidence bloomed on Lan Yurou’s delicate face, expected as she comfortably headed inside the building.

The guards exchanged glances, pursing their lips.

This actress, knowing full well the Crown Prince has a family, brazenly came here, clearly disregarding the Crown Princess.

But who could blame the Crown Prince for indulging her like this?

...

Lan Yurou arrived at the Crown Prince’s office.

She knocked lightly twice before entering, looking at the man seemingly waiting for her on the sofa, and sweetly said, "Ya Chen."
